Customer Review

This is about the BenQ W703D. The Beamer generated initially a great, light-strong image that also the befindlichem in my use BenQ W1070 with Full HD resolution hardly inferior. For playback of full HD material you had to look very closely to see the difference between the two devices when it comes to image quality.
The 3D mode for playback of 3D Blu-ray player worked perfectly. Since the necessary shutter glasses use up a significant portion of the light, it is important that the projector projects a sufficiently bright image, this is the W703D the case. The playback of 3D video in side-by-side format went smoothly. Only in the mode Over-and-Under, so the two images arranged for the respective eye in the source video to each other, the device could not be persuaded from 4: 9 to switch mode: 3 mode to 16.
Since I was with the device initially very happy, I'm almost sorry to give such a bad review. Since the BenQ W703D but seems to have a serious shortage, I unfortunately have no choice.

After about 4 months of use in our Non smoking household, noticed that loomed bright spots in dark scenes on the screen. When you press the focus of the projector, these spots could focus, and it became apparent that it was obviously a question of dust. Cleaning the lens managed not help, the dust had therefore somehow gets into the light path. This should not really happen at a DLP projector, as the light path should be enclosed. Here, however, a number of about 10 grains of dust had accumulated.
Since this is still badly affected the image quality, dark scenes were no longer to be considered, I let the projector from BenQ pick up for repair. After quite exactly 3 weeks I got back the unit. Obviously, a cleaning experiment was conducted, there were still dust particles in the light path. Since I was careful and in the next few days from time to time looked after, I realized that after 14 days new dust particles were been added again.
Due to this significant Problemes, and because it probably arrives at a beamer primarily on image quality, I can only give such a poor rating to persuasive se device unfortunately.
